Making Tea.

Dut not many days ago found new
and better way OF making tea, and that
the tea question should ever be stirred
up and need settling once again surprised
me. Mothers ways Of making IL had
seemed unqucstionable st first: One tea
spoonful of tea, one cupful of boiling
water; stepped, not boiled, five minutes.
But night after night there floatcd on my
husbands cup one, two or dozen tiny
particles OF stem and leaf, until n strain
er there must he, but. "a pretty silver
one, u said "And will wait till Christ
mas. Then came my best Of husbands
to The rescue with mild suggestion;
Tor he is long-suiIcring, and neither de-
mands improvements nor finds fault with
present methods in my housekeeping
lie proposed teaching Inc his mothers
way OF making tea. 1t was to use the
same proportion as before, but not to
pour the whole amount of boiling water
on tho leaves until they have first
stepped in just enough to cover them,
three minutes. Then add the amount Of
water required, and serve. IL the water
really boils there will be no "foatcrs."
BY the new rule, found in our daily
paper, tea is made with cold water and
Is Intended to be used iced in tumb!crs.
But accidentally we havj discovered
that 1t makes superior hot tea also.
-Four or five hours before using, pour
one cupful of cold water over u tea

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Nice Curtains.

Pretty curtains for bedroom may he
made OF linen scrim in tins way: Make
the curtains long enough to allow Of
deep hem, top and bottom. Hem also
the front edge of each. Take large
spool and mark with lead pencil two
circles slightly overlapping each other
In alternate groups for border on the
hem. Three smaller circles may bc used
in each group il preferred. Choose
wash embroidery silk of any two colors
thlt will go we'll together and harmon
izc with tho prevailing tones in the room
such rs blue and gold, red and olive,
or brown and pink. Work the circles
in outline stitch, and suspend the cur
tains from small rods. 1t is best to
scald the silk before using, as this will
prevent the colors from running when
the curtains are washed. A moro oab-
orato curtain which may be used in
parlor, can have the circles scattered all
over il.

1t is the only place Of the kind in New

IN Europe ii is a question whether such a

In this country, however. where large
estates stocked with game are unknown
and shooting trip takes time and urepa-
ration, such private arsenals are no.
needed. Even the wealthiest and most
eXtravagant do not find it necessary to
employ private armorers. and most sports
men take delight in cleaning and putin.

have great demands upon their time either
because of social or business cares. cannot
afford or do not care To bother with the

hall that has been written of these sub

further need for agitation. All the people
would have been dead long ago. As o
matter of fact, purity is an essential in
any article of popular consumption.
Everybody knows this, and, as a rule, an
effort is made to procure that which is
pure. When such end caunot be accom-
